Yota Egg (also called Interbro iWWR-1000R[1]) — an autonomous mobile gateway between WiMax and WiFi wireless networks.[2][3]
Yota Egg is a battery powered mobile WiFi access point, that connects to the IEEE 802.16e wireless networks (Mobile WiMax), designed to provide Internet access to the devices without a WiMax adapter. With it any 802.11b/g WiFi-enabled device (laptops, communicators, players, camcorders, game consoles and so on) can connect to the WiMax network, regardless of hardware and software. Multiple devices or computers can be connected to the Internet thru one gateway, sharing a common sub-network between them[1].
This gateway allows you to combine the advantages of WiMax and the wide availability of WiFi adapter. Advantages of this device are its compactness, high autonomy and the ability to quickly deploy a network with high-speed internet access using the popular Wi-Fi standard in the WiMax coverage area. This opens up possibilities of providing a network access in various unsuitable locations and facilities (lack of electricity, poor signal reception inside the building, etc.).

"Egg" can be powered from USB ports. The current consumption of this device is 2 A, which exceeds the maximum permissible current for USB ports - 500 mA. In order reduce the load on the host port, the cable has two USB plugs on the end, intended for connecting in two USB-ports simultaneously to share the load. The device can be charged from a single USB port, but the charge rate will be significantly reduced.
• Charging via supplied power adapter
- Fast-charge time: about 80 minutes (charges up to 80% of battery capacity) - Full-charge time: about 150 minutes - Charging while in use: about 240 minutes
• Charging via 2 USB ports
- Full charge time: about 180 minutes - Charging while in use: about 300 minutes
• Charging via 1 USB port
- Full charge time: about 360 minutes - Charging while in use: not available (the power supplied by a single USB port, 500 mA @ 5 volts is not sufficient to charge the unit and use it at the same time)
